Hedgesville Public Library Branch Manager Dana Phelps discusses the library’s efforts to install solar panels and energy efficient lighting, including teaming up with the local Vo-tech center to upgrade the lighting, and collaborating with the solar installer and local electric utility company during the process, ultimately saving money and reducing carbon emissions.
Energy upgrades completed in 2018 at seven Morgan County Schools and a number of district support facilities, in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, have resulted in a $1 million savings in utility and related costs over five years.
